Jonathon Simmons signs three-year deal with Orlando

Jonathon Simmons has reportedly signed a three-year deal with the Orlando Magic on Friday, according to The Vertical.

Simmons became an unrestricted free agent Thursday after the Spurs declined to give him a qualifying offer.

The 27-year-old shooting guard averaged a career-high 6.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists last season. He logged major minutes and gained nationwide attention during the playoffs after Kawhi Leonard sustained an ankle injury, averaging 15.4 points in the Spurs’ last seven playoff games against Houston and Golden State.

Simmons famously paid $150 to tryout for the Spurs’ development league affiliate in 2013 after going undrafted out of the University of Houston. He went on to become one of a handful of players who turned an open D-League tryout into an NBA contract after the Spurs signed him in 2015.
